Relying on less expensive materials than the Racing Zero and Racing 1, the Racing 3 is able to accomplish similar performance at a much lower price. The Racing 3 forgoes the aluminum spokes found on the more expensive wheels in favor of tried and true stainless steel. Stainless spokes add a small amount of weight, but they're durable and lend a more "classic" look to the Racing 3. The Racing 3 is Fulcrum's least expensive wheel to use a welded and machined aluminum rim and aluminum hub shells and axles. These wheels lack some of the flash of Fulcrum's pricier wheels, but make no mistake, they're a solid performer in their price range with respectable weight and unparalleled smoothness. As with Fulcrum's Racing Zero and Racing 1, the Racing 3 does not require rim tape thanks to its MoMag spoke drilling, so the 1605g weight is all there is to it.
